Apple TV remote: not a true Apple product!



One thing I do not like about Apple TV is the low tech remote Apple provides. It takes all the time in the world to search items on YouTube and other things as you have to keep clicking and the feeling of the remote as well as the "tic-tic" sound is annoying. Why can not Apple create a soft touch device with a type pad technology (maybe on lines of iphone). You could use iphone or ipod touch as a remote but I have not found a way to make it fully functional for all the steps involved. I can certainly type in using my iPhone's touchpad (there is a free remote application in Apple Apps store) but Apple should not expect customers to buy an iphone or ipod touch to use it as a remote, right! Hope someone from Apple receives this constructive criticism. It is actually the same remote which they sell for laptop. So, that may be reason but I am not satisfied and am sure that many more customers are not.
